You've got to have misstated that. That would be a complete and total disaster of enough scale to completely kill Plus.

- bmelton 15y agoNope. They're uploaded as 'private' by default, and it's a configurable option, so you can turn the auto-upload feature off altogether. Actually, maybe I did, because I think it asked me the first time whether or not I want auto-upload on or off by default; but even with it on, I don't feel even remotely unsafe -- the photos are automatically backed up to 'the cloud' and aren't shared unless I go in and explicitly share them.
- waterlesscloud 15y agoWow. That's deadly for Google. No matter what you personally may feel about it, I can guarantee we'll be seeing blog posts and news stories about "Google put my private pictures I took for my boyfriend on the internet." Guaranteed.
- bmelton 15y agoI don't disagree, necessarily, but it would be a pretty baseless claim made by someone who doesn't understand how the internet (or the app) works. Admittedly, that's quite probably most people, but, as I said, it does ask you by default, and it does upload those pictures as private until you explicitly go and share them otherwise.

- powerje 15y agoYes he has misstated this. When you load G+ on Android it asks whether you want your photos uploaded by default into a private album. It isn't the default by any means - the default is to ask the user what they want to do! It works really well too. I took a few pictures with my device and not even thinking about it got on my computer to upload them, before realizing I had told my phone to upload automatically. Very easy experience to share my photos and videos this way.
